If it was occasional it would be a problem, but when it's in a squeaking mood it's almost continuous. Sounds like the tyres are full of budgies!

Oh THAT’s where the budgies are! Could have sworn I took them out.

More seriously, that’s a new one. Pre-selling to RG it had a squeak-free 200+ miles drive up to Manchester, so I’m a bit baffled about what could be squeaking. The suspension on these can be a bit creaky, but generally a couple of quick creaks when cold and it clears up. Let’s us know what you find out.

Enjoy the car! BTW i'd not put oil on rubber bushings, the petrochems make 'em crack. There are some other products I can't remember right now, maybe graphite? Anyway. open the windows, hit sport mode, and the whole world disappears bar that engine note!

You're right of course, I've got some silicone spray for things like this.

It was very (VERY) wet when I drove 160 or so miles home last weekend - and pretty much every drive since. Not sure if this washed out any previous lube.
